The Trouble with Cowboys

(A Big Sky Romance #3)
byDenise Hunter



Experct from goodreads.com

Only one pair of boots-and the cowboy wearing them-can get Annie out of the mess she's in. ""

Annie Wilkerson is Moose Creek's premiere horse trainer and equine columnist for "Montana Living." Money is tight as she tries to put her kid-sister through college and provide for her young nephew.

When Annie's column is cancelled, she's given first shot at a new lovelorn column-and she can't afford to turn it down. Only problem is . . . Annie's never been in love.

Always resourceful, she reluctantly strikes a deal with the town's smooth-talking ladies' man Dylan Taylor: She'll work with his ailing horse, Braveheart, if he'll help her answer the reader letters.

Working closely with Dylan is harder than Annie imagined, and she quickly realizes she may have misjudged him. But her unwavering conviction that cowboys are nothing but trouble has kept her heart safe for years. And she can't risk getting hurt now.

The more Annie tries to control things, the more they fall apart. Her feelings are spinning out of control, and her sister's antics are making life increasingly more difficult. Annie knows she needs to turn the reins over to God, but surrender has never come easily.

When Dylan reveals his feelings for her, Annie doesn't know what to trust-her head or her heart.

The trouble with "this" cowboy is that he might just be exactly what she needs.

Ok, I am not 100% sure how much I liked this one. I got a bit lost in and was not sure what the pyxis was for.
I was written good and the carters seem fun. So maybe I will reread it soon and I might get it the next time.

Does have sex and voiolents
So 18 and older
4.5 Stars

It was fun to read this story. The only reason I gave it a 4.5 and not a 5 is because I would have liked to see it a little longer and more detail when you get to the end.
I liked how it was written and how it pulled me into the story and I stayed there all the way tho.
I love how Anna is so strong willed and so very feisty. Adam is one heck of an Alpha and its fun to watch him fight what fills so right.
Therefore, if you are looking for a paranormal romance with some zing, this one might be just up your alley!

byCat Kalen


Expert off goodreads.com

She’ll stop at nothing to free the enslaved wolves still caged in the estate’s underground prison. Knowing there is only one way back inside the fortified mansion, Pride allows herself to be captured.

Armed with a plan, she finds herself back in her cage but when things begin to unravel, she once again finds herself at the mercy of her former master. This time, however, she knows she has two wolves on her side, Logan and Stone—powerful alphas who will both fight to the death to free her.

Except the compound hides secrets that threaten both her heart and her identity and when bonds are tested and bloodlines are revealed, Pride realizes if she completes her mission she’ll be releasing her pack into a world where no one, least of all Pride, is safe.

3.5 Stars

I wish I could give this one more stars, and maybe after I read number 1 I might be able too.

I do love Pride! With all she faces she is still strong and sound minded. There are a few parts that I didn’t see coming from a mile away.
I’m thinking that if you have a thing for strong woman who can shift into a wolf then you got your book J

The Rake and the Recluse
byJenn LeBlanc



expert off goodreads.com

Francine Larrabee woke up on the wrong side of the century. She was fairly certain she went to sleep in her own comfy bed, but she doesn’t quite seem to be there now. Only adding to her problems is that she has no voice, is constantly being glowered at by a large, stunning man who is obsessed with propriety, and she is apparently betrothed to another horrid little man, determined to ruin her, and any other girls that get in his way.
How does she find herself in the past, when she couldn’t even find herself in her present? How does a self sufficient businesswoman survive in a time when women were still considered property for the whole of their lives and what is she going to do with this man who draws her to him so fiercely.
